Wet Lane near Postbridge

Oil on Board, 6 x 8 inches

A gleaming, wet road against the sunlight is right up my street (excuse the pun). That blinding light you get when the sunlight bounces off a wet surface is joyous, almost pure Titanium White used to depict it, slightly lighter than the sky tone just above it, though difficult to see in the photo. Coupled with the rich colours of Autumn, and the branches forming a tunnel, this was a little gem to paint.
